He informed The Nation that HIV virus was diagnosed in children in the month of November while they are admitted in CDA hospital now.

According to him, his children are suffering from the Glanzmann Thrombasthenia, a form of thalassemia in which patient suffers from the disorder of both white and red blood platelets.

On Monday the call of attention was also moved by some legislatures in National Assembly (NA) to invite the attention of Minister for Capital Administration & Development Division (CADD) towards the transmission of unscreened, contaminated and HIV/AIDS infected blood to patients in CDA hospital.

Doctor at CDA hospital informed The Nation that hospital had held an inquiry regarding infection of HIV which has been completed.

“I have not seen that inquiry report; however, the children were suffering from bleeding disorder,” said the official at hospital.

Meanwhile, according to public relations official of CDA, both children were facing blood transfusion for last nine years and mostly they received treatment from PIMS but it could not be confirmed that from where they receive infection.

However, according to statement of Prof Dr Hassan Abbas, Head of Blood Bank at PIMS, the hospital blood bank has a very modern and advanced blood screening system and all blood donations are screened on this system.

“Every day around 150-200 patients receive blood components from PIMS blood bank while these two patients suffer from congenital platelet disorder due to which they received hundreds of transfusions in routine and emergency in the last few years,” he said.

“Millions of funds were spent on Thalassemia centre in the city but the project was not concluded and similarly Thalassemia centre at PIMS has also not won the trust of the people and they seek private blood banks for transfusion,” he said.

According to information available with The Nation project of establishing central blood bank is still at large and facing administrative problems.

The project was initiated in year 2009 and millions of funds were allocated for this but ‘Safe national Blood Transfusion Project’ didn’t meet its end.
